RESISTANCE – In class November 7/12

NOTE – Please view and read with maturity and respect, as there are mature ideas and derogatory terms in the primary materials of the time.

How did enslaved persons respond to their life in bondage? It’s one of the most common questions asked by students – so let’s see if we can find some answers. Check out the first part of Anti-Slavery Resistance Movement from Boundless, Slave Resistance from the National Humanities Center and Slave Resistance and Revolts from Digital History to find out how enslaved people responded to their situation. The videos below also discuss various forms of resistance.

Resistance could be a great narrow topic for a Found Poem – right? If you want, take careful notes, pull out some power lines, and develop a great collection for your creative display of understanding about this dark yet powerful aspect of America’s story.
